I'm often getting asked what my criteria are for choosing the tools, apps and resources that I feature on my blogs and in my teaching and do be honest I don't really think about it that much. I look at so many sites and apps that I just get a feeling when I see something that I think will work.
As that isn't a very satisfactory answer to give people I decided to start exploring my own criteria for what influences my choice. I ran a workshop on this topic at IATEFL 2013 on looking at apps and how we can evaluate them.
I came up with a number of 'first impression' criteria that I think I apply before even thinking about 'how' I will use the app / tool.
Here is the presentation / workshop recording
You can download a copy of the presentation from here: Evaluating Web-based Tools
Please feel free to browse the list and add any 'pros' and 'cons' for anything you think I've missed.

I hope you find these criteria useful as a starting point for your own reflections on why you choose to use certain apps and not others.
